Johnny the Hobby Artist - Planet Suicide

Johnny the Hobby Artist has submitted his song Planet Suicide" for inclusion on the The Frizzo Show. It's a strange mix of Rap Lyrics and electronic music production. The message in the music is great material to ruminate on and consider in depth, amid the negative message of it being "the end of the world" Johnny The Hobby Artist throws a shout out to Tyler Perry for becoming successful by means of entertainment. I don't see this song having much mass appeal but It's not bad for an independent, self-proclaimed, "Hobby Artist". I look forward to hearing more from Johnny the Hobby Artist.

Andrew Vogt - Awakening (ft. Sam Trump & Jeff Swanson) | Form Chicago

The latest submission for The Frizzo Show comes from Andrew Vogt in Chicago Ill. This is lounge music. The video itself is a perfect example of minimalist production and simplicity. A horn, a bass and a cello, so simple, so good. I can easly see this song being used in film or television. This is the kinda music you put on a crackling record player on a Sunday morning while drinking coffee. I dig it. Good stuff, thank you Mr. Vogt.

Cosmic Punch - The Club of Nerd Dads

This submission is sweet. What's cooler than a middle-aged Star Wars Nerd making a music video about being a dad with his kids? The Guitar riffs aren't bad either. This guy can play. And with almost 10,00 plays on youtube, I'd say he's onto something. I like it, good stuff.

The Silver Bayonets - Awake

The Silver Bayonets are a London-based rock band whose loud rock guitars blend with vocal harmonies and pop hooks to produce melodic, often anthemic, and very addictive power pop. Fronting the group on guitar and lead vocals is songwriter Kabir Sheikh, and features Gen Ding (guitar), Ross Guy (bass) and Enzo Cuticchia (drums), all of whom add backing vocals. Their self-recorded debut album 'The Pain Inside Your Head' (2015) received radio airplay and great reviews in the indie music press. They enlisted producer Dave Draper (The Wildhearts, Terrorvision, Kerbdog) to create the follow-up, 'Braveface' (2018), and their third album, 'Unfolding' (2020). “Awake”, the first single from 'Unfolding', received airplay on BBC Introducing in May 2020. Live and in-studio sessions have been recorded for Stag Radio at the University of Surrey and Croydon Radio, and the band have been heavily featured on Phoenix FM in Essex. A live set in 2016 was also recorded for TV broadcast across Europe. Gigs at London’s best unsigned nights at the Camden Assembly, Amersham Arms, Nightclub Kolis and Fest, alongside appearances at Camden Rocks Festival in 2018 and 2019 have built a reputation for intense live shows that sees them mentioned as highlights of the nights and festivals they play, playing to a steadily increasing fanbase. The band have recently contributed to, and been credited on Ginger Wildheart’s (The Wildhearts) latest solo album “Headzapoppin”. 2020 sees the band releasing a steady flow of 9 brand new tracks which together form the ‘story arc’/concept album “Unfolding” to be released as the band’s third full studio album. Frizzo's Review: This song juxtaposes an uptempo Rock melody with some very depressing lyrics about negative rumination and insomnia. Kabir Sheikh sounds like he's using his music as a cathartic release for the sake of his own therapy. It's a good song, I think a lot of people plagued with the curse of overthinking can relate to this. It's a great song for driving. I see a lot of potential here with the Silver Bayonets, I'd keep an ear on these guys if I were you.

CRUEL SUMMER - FOULDZY/ Parmy Dhillon

Official music video for CRUEL SUMMER from FOULDZY and Parmy Dhillon Recorded, mixed and mastered at ELECTRIC CIRCUS STUDIOS Music video: ELECTRIC CIRCUS RECORDS Label: ELECTRIC CIRCUS RECORDS ollow FOULDZY on: Spotify: FOULDZY Facebook: FOULDZY Insta: fouldzymusic Follow Parmy Dhillon on: Spotify: Parmy Dhillon Facebook: Parmy Dhillon Insta: Parmy Dhillon This Submission from FOULDZY/ Parmy Dhillon of Electric Circus Records is a visual treat, but musically it's flat and evokes no emotion whatsoever. The video strikes me as a musical collective comprised of video game nerds in their mid-30's from the Anglo diaspora finally getting together after years of bong rips and Guinness at house parties in New Zealand got old and one of them said..."Hey, dude...we should start a band...I could totally make a cool video and we might get rich and party forever" It's cool, I have friends like this, it's harmless, it's nerdy. It's just not what their parents had hoped for, I'm sure. Truthfully if I wanted to listen to a group of stoners making music I would listen to Three Loco or The Chinchillionaires

John Blake - Your Light (Let It Shine) ft. Elisa Polanco

From John Blake comes this next submission for the show. It's a highly positive message in the music. John Blake and Elisa Polanco give an extraordinary performance on this track. The song is about everyday life and seeing your way through the hard times and staying positive in order to change your circumstances and surroundings. This is inspired music and is a fresh change from the usual bravado of today's music.

So EZ - "Up and Down"

So EZ is a rap duo from Atlanta, GA and their sound is uncharacteristic of most Atlanta artists. The vibe on their song, "Up and Down" is a real, late night, smooth, slow jam. The lyrics detail the complexity of a relationship that's dealing with infidelities and conflict and offers the mature suggestion that the couple should call it quits. The video itself is directed by Dre Cannonz and is not a cliched bling and boast fest, but instead shows a more urban and cosmopolitan side of Atlanta rap. So EZ is comprised of Nalij and Q Barrels. Their styles and flows compliment each other and they make a good team with an obvious shared vision of their future in the industry. I personally enjoyed this track and its mellow approach and I'm happy they reached out to me with this quality music. So EZ can be reached on at the following Twitter accounts: Artist @TheRealSoEz Filmed & Edited By @DreCannonz Supporting Label / Submitted By: @Tru_Brilliance
